"Sue Thomas: FBI" ran the first of a two part show tonight that has terrorists getting ready use ultralights (Did you know they come in big packing cases marked "ultralight"?) to spread bubonic plague. Just the sort of program we need. Dave Reinhart

What are the requirements in Canada to hold a rating to fly small jets like this (http://www.aircraft.com/listings/forsale/Detail.asp?PID=118154&guid=o17lg8w 0&pcid=1229918&etid=1&OHID=1061082&setype=1&nh=0). I know they are out of my reach right now because I only have a PPL. I assume the ATPL...

Anyone seen any plans for an electric tug for a 172? I can get my hands on a motor, but not sure how much horsepower it should have, or really have a plan of attack for putting something together. Yes, our 172 does need a tug. We just got a new hangar, and you have to push it up a bit of an...

I am looking to get a MP1000-II. My PM 1000 is showing its age. Any help for a supplier on the net is appreciated. Hank N1441P

Near as I can tell, the West Gladstone (9C9) airport is just not where the FAA sectional says it is. I think it's on one side of the Escanaba River and the FAA says the other. The funny thing is that the GPS database is correct. BTW, I would bet alot of money that not one person here has even...

Just got an email from AOPA pushing their new online flight planner. First impression is telling me not to give up my E6-B, plotter, and sectionals. It's slow, clunky, and disconnects constantly from the Jepp server bank. I'll give them time to improve it, but they're doing a poor job...

How many airports are there where you temporarily cross the border during the approach? I notice that Tijuana has an approach path over the SW tip of the U.S., while Brownsville has an approach over part of Mexico. El Paso also appears to have approaches over Ciudad Juarez, but I have no...

Hi all: I fly underneath a Class B airspace (Washington). My question is that while I am leaving the area on a flight, I will often end up climbing up higher as I get further from my departure airport as I get under the shelves that are higher up. When I am entirely free of the Class B, I pick a...

Over on the Cherokee Chat page people are talking about yet ANOTHER incursion into the restricted airspace around D.C. by a Spam Can driver today. Anyone got any details on this? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com

Today was a good day at my airfield. Please visit the link below and see the Army's Finest training to protect our freedoms. This was at Camp Atterbury, IN (11II). Please let me know what you think. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frederick_a

I am writing a piece on the fear of flying and comical ways that some people have tried to overcome this. If you have any funny tale you can share with me, please email me and let me know. If your story is used in my final article, I will send you a copy before publication. Thanks for your help.

I'm looking for accelerated IFR written training programs. I have picked up the gliem audio review program and started listening to it, but it is a bit boring and difficult to concentrate on :) Any other programs that are alittle more automated? I've thought about the american flyers program,...

Anyone see the 757 land there today? Anyone hear why?

Apparently a Cessna was departing while a Piper PA-28 (possibly an Arrow) was landing at Westerly State (KWST). Airplanes collided with each other about 100 feet AGL. Both aircraft impacted the runway. All 3 Piper occupants survived with few/little injuries and were released from a hospital. ...

Syd's post on ways to mark the 100th anniversary made me think this is a good time to ask who's going to the celebration and maybe get a little info.... I got my tickets late so there weren't any hotels available close by. So we're staying in Norfolk and driving down. I've decided to let...

Hi, After taking two passengers on SF-Bay tours, I realized that I want to take the tour slower... A north-bay tour (SF, GGB, Ocean Beach, without the 101/Bravo transition) takes about 40min roundtrip from OAK - a little quick. I've been used to flying with the rpm around the bottom of the green...

I have just learned of the tragic death of an old friend of mine last Thursday (13th November). He was on an Angel Flight from Flagstaff to Deer Valley and the aircraft was found near Black Canyon City north of Phoenix. No passengers on board. I am a Brit pilot and flew with my friend on his...

I read a valuable article recently which desribes what steps to take to isolate problems in the air and better communicate problems to an A&P. I can't remember where I read this article. Can you help me find it?

Is there any way to do aerial photography and sell the pictures without having a commercial license? Seems to me there isn't, but I know people do it. I was just wondering if there was a catch somewhere that would allow it and if so, under what circumstances. Thanks Wayne
